HANDY HINTS
• Always start your belt sander before it is in contact
with the work piece and do not switch it off when it
is in contact with the workpiece.
• Set the belt speed control to the correct speed for
the job (electronic models only).
• Always hold your belt sander with two hands.
• Where possible, clamp the workpiece to the bench.
• Use the correct sanding belt. The grades and grit
sizes in the table under belt speed control will aid
your choice.
TOOL CARE
Never apply excessive force when you use your belt
sander. Too much force can result in an overload and
cause damage to the motor or the workpiece. If your
belt sander becomes too hot, operate it without load
for 2 minutes. Always keep the air cooling vents clear.
To clean your belt sander, proceed as follows:
